Independent Setup Assistance and Author-owned KDP Account

Independent Setup Assistance and Author-owned KDP Account

Amazon KDP lets authors publish ebooks and print books directly. We provide independent setup assistance: we are not Amazon, and your book is published from your own KDP account, so royalties are paid to you and you control the listing.

We prepare files to KDP's requirements, write and enter the description, categories and keywords, set pricing and territories with you, and walk you through the account so you can manage it confidently afterwards.

Wide availability

Correct metadata

Categories, keywords, descriptions and ISBN details are prepared carefully, because they decide where your book appears in search.

No surprises

You receive a written plan with each step, cost and timeline before your book is submitted to any platform.

Pricing

Price factors and timeline

Every book is different, so we quote each project individually. The main factors are:
